Wouldn’t you know it? Norm has another secret mission. This time, he needs to hide his top secret item in his top secret storage system—his workshop. But it’s always such a mess. How can he make sure he finds his secret item when he needs it? With a treasure map, of course! With the help of a firefighter, Kevin and Uncle Norm learn how grids can be used to locate items and destinations.
The Gist: This episode is about grids and mapping, with a focus on mathematical process skills such as reading, and writing location data using coordinate geometry. Grids and maps illustrate the concepts of parallel/perpendicular lines and intersecting points.
